Free Trade.

The reduction OF internal revenue
and the taking off of revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt
has largely benefited the Sonsumers,
as well as relieving the burden of hone
manufacturers. Especially is this the
case with Green's August Flower and
Boschee's German Syrup, as the re-
duction of thirty-six cents per dozen.
has been added to increase the size Of
the bottles containing these remedies,
thereby giving one fifth more medicine
in the rs cent size. The August Flower
for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint,
and the German Syrup for Cough and
Lung troubles, have perhaps, the
largest sale of any medicines in the
world. The advantage of increased
size of the bottles will be greatly ap-
preciated by the sick and afflicted, in
every town AMI village in civilized
countries. Sample bottles for 10 cents
remain the same size.

the fearful disease. The families have
the heartfelt sympathy of our COM

critical condition from the same dis
ease. OF young Hendricks we most
sadly write-"The only son of his

Collector Sinalley recently reported
to the Treasury Department at Wash
ington that certa in persons along the
frontier desire to place separators in
Canada and import cream into the
United States, SO as to avoid the ex-
penses of transporting the milk, and
asks instructions as to the proper rate
of duty on the cream. Assistant Sec.
rotary Maynard has replied that milk
is subject to duty as a raw and un.
manufactured article, but as there is
no specific provision in the tariff for
cream, and as the separation of the
cream from the milk docs not consti.
tute manufacture, the department is
of the opinion that cream is properly
dutiable at the rate of ten per cent ad
valorem as raw and manufactured
article.

covered traces, as he thought, of gold.
lie accordingly sent some samples of
ore to an analytical chemist of Mil
wankee, who reports that it assays
$500 in gold to the ton and 4j cents in
silver. The sample was sent many
months ago, taken from the surface,
but since then a much richer vein has
been struck which we hope may pan
out beyond Mr.. Nicholson's most san
guine expectations.
